Just watched this classic. Jacks sense of humour and his honesty was excellent. After spending two years crafting the film RIVER RUNNER which highlighted the demise of the salmon runs on the river Lee in Ireland, it struck me that this precious and amazing natural resource still remains in the hands of the elite. The salmon in Ireland was an integral part of our heritage and lore. For the vast majority it has faded into oblivion. The intention with RIVER RUNNER was to offer the Irish public an educational document of how progress in society damaged an amazing creature. Films like these plant new seeds of hope as they preserve the past for future generations. Superb watch on such a sad chapter of "watch" !!

Big Jack was a great fella and we see his likes again. Salmon were still plentiful when this program was made but so much has changed since then. Here in the south west of Ireland the coastal drift nets were blamed for years for the decreasing salmon runs, but when the nets were finally and rightly banned some years ago it made absolutely no difference to the numbers of salmon running the rivers and the decline not only continued but got worse. Now many Irish rivers which always had a good run of salmon see very few fish even in a wet year. The late run of spawning fish which entered the rivers after the end of the season and which provided most of the breeding stock has almost died out on many rivers. Hugh Falkus was of the opinion that some cycles of scarcity and plenty which affect the salmon take many decades to play out...lets hope he was right and we are going through one such cycle at present.

the biggest problem about the numbers of salmon and sea trout falling numbers, is not the poachers or even the netters, they get the blame from the land owners and fisherys, but they was never willing to look at them selfs and there actions on the river, the other things is polution and fish farms, they do the must damage of all, remember when it was a poor mans food, a lot more fish was taking out of the rivers that what as been for the last 100 years, and yet for 1000's of years people has taking fish out in numbers you would only dream about. When you realise that a 4 year old fish will spawn over 60,000 eggs which only about 2/3 will get fertalise, which only 2/3 of that will make it to the sea and 2/3 of that will return back to spawn, and you still be talking about 100's of fish coming back from one spawning pair
@southerneruk5 жыл бұрын
That sounds about right, and thousand would be taking out for food, from the day they start returning, there are records on the best Sea Trout river in the world of 150 years ago, local people taking home wheel barrows full of Sea Trout and Salmon, this would go on day after day, week after week on a river that had 3 major runs a year and thats not counting what the netters use to take out out in the sea close to the coast as the fish returned back to there rivers. Taking them out of the rivers would only happen for the returning fish, never for a fish on the spawning grounds in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March and April, Kelps was left alone to return back to the sea. most of these would end up as food for the seals etc, extermely few of these would survive, some did and come back very big fish. My self I have seen sea trout in such numbers you would of thought you was on a Canadain river. Things started to change fewer and fewer in numbers when the wealthy decided that they owned the fish, also at the same time polution started to rise. but the biggest killer was the fish farms polution, they cause diseases that the returning fish catch and take into the rivers, also the breeding stews polution clogging up the spawning beds with there waste.

@@southerneruk Me hearty, friends do not let friends eat farmed fish. Tis a thing of sour repute that farmed fish should darken the natural waters. So tell me for I've a few questions. Are you in the UK? Too, in this video they speak more than a few instances of the pollution of the rivers. What are the sources of that pollution is my question. The video does not answer.
@southerneruk5 жыл бұрын
Farmed Fish is one sort of polution, @@MrLikeke Their waste can carry a disease, where the fish have no room to move, so the disease is spead to all the other fish in the pen, and it don't stop there, it pass though the pen's mesh drops to the sea bed and the currents transports it around, shell fish and small fish eat this crap off the sea bed and now its in the sea food chain also the nutrants in the waste increases the number of sea lice and scalp wild fish, wild fish when passing these farmed fish pick up the disease in a lot of cases they become sterile also many die as they enter the rivers.
@southerneruk5 жыл бұрын
@@MrLikeke other sources starts with the spring, Farm fertilisers being washed into the rivers, then you got the industral polutions where they build to close to rivers, and don't have filters that are good enough to cope, then you got docks polutions and more industral polutions, Only good thing is the one thing you would of though would be a problem for poluting the rivers don't, and that is the sewage / water treatment plants, water coming out of these places is that clean you could drink it, in fact on my river it is estimented that the water we drink down here at the bottom of the river as been used 6 times before we get to drink it, thats how clean the water treatment plants are, just a shame they got to add the government chemicals to the tap water before we get it out of the tap. Industry polution can be any thing, all will depend on where abouts in the country you are and what river your on, like the north east a lot of coal dust, and metals, where as southern it can range from heavy metals like cromium and light metals, fuels and oils from refinerys, coal and bunker fuel where the docks are, chemicals that are man made can end up in the river, you name it it can end up in the rivers. then you have the added problems of the Docks, where ships have got heavery and sits deeper into the water than they did in the pass, rivers are being dredge to deep just so ships can get up to the docks to unload and load up again, insted of moving the docks down river into more natual deep water, they dredge a deeper and wider channels, this will kill off most of the marine life that rely on tidal grounds and shallow waters, like your shellfish and worms that use to do a great job in keeping tidal part of a river clean, with out these tidal grounds a river soon becomes poluted.
